This email was sent to the group e-dubliners by Rosangela few days ago, and found the motivating text, written by those who have a real life experience. Follows:

"Amores,

I have read some posts in anguish, to a greater or lesser density, some members of our group, for "To go or not go?" If "go" "What awaits us?", Etc ... etc ... etc ...

Well, I guess you could say something about it. After all, I am the State "more experienced".

I lived most of my traveling for work.
I know all of Brazil, from end to end. Streams, stilts, modern buildings, slums, interior, sand, rain and sun ... and I the path.
Always worked for the federal government and in this condition I retired.

Labor, however, since the age of 13.
Today I am fifty years, I retired with 30 years of service and have a retirement that few in our country can have.

Sequelae of the public service that most haunts me is the result of sedentary life: males of the spine, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and ... panic! ... "Braba. Those lizard on the wall turn alligator.

I take many medications every day, all of continuous use.

Well, you must be wondering: "What this old woman is willing to do in Ireland?" And I say, in Ireland, nothing. In me, everything.

I always had a relatively comfortable life, I met more than 80 countries and made friends around the world.
I have a son that I adopted when he was 05 days of life. Today he is 14 years. And I do everything I can for him.

Last year, close to retiring, I suggested to my son that he was preparing to study abroad in Brazil and to choose between Canada, England, USA and Australia.
For this he had to "pass" for years and 16 years could be enrolled in school abroad. The requirements are these: do not have repeated in recent years to 02 years and have at least 16 years.

He failed a grade. By laziness, carelessness, for discouragement, boredom and know-it-what-else. Entered the water in my boat!

I thought, "Okay. This was because "I" want him to study outside. And he want? "

Then I saw that this project is a unique and personal. It can be lived by anyone other than yourself.

I asked him to think about it and he's thinking today.
Of course he says he wants to study abroad in Brazil, but I'm waiting to see how much he will want it.

From there I decided to leave my car, my house and all my comforts, to live a new reality out of my comfort zone.

Talked to my son:

"It turns around. I hope there "" I'm fulfilling a lifelong dream: to live in Ireland. Assuming all risks. "

I live in Ireland solely of money I will take (initially), which is the same value as most of you considering taking: 1000 euros to open a bank account, VTM in 1000 and EUR 500 for the original.

Moreover, I will chase a job that guarantees the minimum I need to eat, live, walk and buy my medicine.

Regarding work:

1 - get out of a desktop strictly formal: meetings with politicians, meetings with organizations such as FEBRABAN / FIESP / Home Loans / BACEN / BNDES, seminars, conferences, trips, group work, etc. ..

2 - the perspective of the desktop: pub, smoke, drunk, mop, laundry, garbage cans, piles of dishes or glasses to wash, sweeping and mopping floors, delivering the newspaper in the rain, etc ....

All about, right??!

In my last working meeting was applauded by more than one hundred people. And there was a luncheon in my honor, in the workplace. A luxury!

NAAAAAAADAAA !!!!!!!

I feel like someone who can not read or write. A complete ignorant, without any qualification!

My chances are much smaller than you are under 35 years. Twenty-something, then ... not even talk!

I'm afraid? Lóóóóóógico! After all, I have a son who depends on me, I am a person suffer in terms of health and if I despirocou in Dublin (panic), I can hardly recover.

But'm finding the maáááááááximoooooo!
You know why??

For now I'll have time for people. Without that mask, that arrogance own positions and functions.

Then you can say, "But so is easy: it makes life! You can return any time you want and have a pension waiting. "

I can assure you that just for this is that my condition was so difficult to decide to go Ireland! Here in Brazil I am what you might call "victorious".

If I go back for a reason other than "victory" will be doomed to days of complete frustration. So let me start to die.

To that end, if one of you do not "hold" and return to Brazil, have all life and all the gas to do what they want. Without any problem, without any emotional distress.

That's what I have to say, even though I had 70 years, no one (at my character, my personality) would prevent me from trying to realize a dream. It would be unfair, therefore, that prevents me from myself, for fear or insecurity.

Finally, I decided to get out of my comfort because if you do not pay to see, can hardly achieve a goal, realize a dream.

Most of you muuuuuito is younger than me, so I venture to say, dispensing with the fear in favor of "good adrenaline rush," one that empowers, inspires and does not let up. More than courage, have faith. Persist, insist, be tolerant, patient, know divide, and critics are less forgiving. Then you can go to any corner of the world, without the slightest fear of "no work": the future is certain, will come. What does exist, is what was never done. But then, neither would know that I like.

I have, somehow, comforted you. And count on me! "
